SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.

Provide an appropriate response.

285) A student was trying to solve the problem 6x(9x - 7) = 0. The student knew that he should 285)
set 9x - 7 = 0 but was confused about whether or not he should set 6x = 0, or 6 = 0 and
x = 0. How would you advise this student?

286) A student is trying to solve the equation (x + 7)(x - 8) = 8. The student has set x + 7 = 8 and 286)
x - 8 = 8 and found that two solutions x = 1, x = 16. The student checks her results by
plugging in her solutions into the original equation and finds that they do not work. How
would you advise her?

287) You have to factor the quadratic equation. This means you are looking for two numbers that have a known product.
Unless that product is 0 there is an infinite number of possibilities for the two factors. That makes it extremely difficult
to solve for the variable. When the product is equal to 0 then one factor or the other has to be zero. That is a much
simpler problem to solve.

Fidel (am dignitat) Quin concepte en tenen vostès dels meus
protectors?

Don Albert Molt bo.

Fidel I, doncs, per què’ls ofereixen diners?

Don Albert Pera premiar les seves virtuts.

Fidel (amb ironia fina) Que no pot oferir res més la meva mare?

Don Albert (am to persuasiu) Deixi-s de filosofies. Vostè se’n va amb

ella. Un cop hi sigui, tots dos, ben feliços, se n’aniran a viure a
l’extranger.

Fidel (amb estupefacció) A l’extranger!

Don Albert Sí.

Fidel Encara no s’atreveix a presentar-me en la seva societat? M’ha

de dur lluny, ben lluny, allà on no’ns coneguin! Aixís entén
l’estimació?

Don Albert Més endavant, passats uns quants anys… comprèn?…

podran instalar-se a Barcelona.

Fidel (aixecant-se, am dignitat) Prou!

Don Albert (també aixecant-se) Pensi que desprecía una gran

fortuna. Aprop de donya Lluisa mai li faltaria res.

Fidel Me faltaria l’amor.

Don Albert (somrient amb ironia) Oh! Les seves idees…

Fidel (serenament i am dignitat) Són generoses i enlairades…

Don Albert Les idees… el benestar les suavisa.

Fidel (ofès) Per qui m’ha pres?

Don Albert (fent una rialleta) Jo tinc més experiencia de la vida.

Fidel Més edat, vol dir.

Don Albert Tinc més món, cregui-m.

Fidel I, am tot i això, encara no ha vist mai un home que no vulgui

vendre ni trair els seus sentiments?

Don Albert Tot-hom procura pel seu benestar.

Fidel (amb energia) Bé: acabem.

Don Albert Acabem. Què determina? Què li dic a la seva mare?

Fidel (convençut i serè) Que ja estic content am la que tinc, que no’n
vui d’altra.

Don Albert Això és crudel!

Fidel Es just! Lo crudel seria abandonar an aquests pobres vells.

Don Albert No’m dóna ni una esperança?

Fidel Ni una.
Don Albert Mediti-ho am més calma.

Fidel Es inutil. Am vinticinc anys, m’ha donat temps de sobres pera

arrapar-me an el cor dels humils. Avui ja hi estic arrelat del tot. Tinc
els seus anhels i les seves esperances. No puc trasplantar-me: sóc
massa fet.

Don Albert (movent el cap) No va bé, no va bé.

Fidel Per què ha vingut a pertorbar la pau d’aquesta casa, la

tranquilitat d’aquests pobres vells?

Don Albert He vingut, com li he dit abans, complint una missió

sagrada.

Fidel I tant sagrada!

Don Albert Els precs d’una mare ho són sempre pera mi.

Fidel No totes les dònes que posen sers al món són dignes de ser
mares.

Don Albert Ara sí que veig…

Fidel Que? Digui! No s’ho calli.

Don Albert (molt subratllat) Veig clarament que l’ausencia de la

mare endureix el cor.

Fidel (indignat) Què sap vostè, si no’n té?

Don Albert Fidel!

Fidel No’l trec jo mateix de casa perquè hi han els meus pares, ho
sent bé?, els meus pares, i vui que ells el treguin.

Don Albert (en veu baixa) M’he ben equivocat!

Fidel (cridant) Mare! Pare! Veniu: feu el favor.

Don Albert (sofocat) Que no’s basta per sí sol?

Fidel Veniu! (Compareixen precipitadament per la segona porta de

l’esquerra la Madrona, el Passarell i en Boira.)
Escena X
(Els mateixos, més la Madrona, el Passarell i en Boira)

Passarell Què hi ha, Fidel?

Fidel Treieu de casa an aquest senyor, que m’està insultant!

Don Albert Jo no l’insulto.

Fidel Fa més: ve a profanar la nostra pobresa. Treieu-lo, pare!

Don Albert No n’hi ha necessitat: ja m’en vaig.

Passarell (concentrat) Marxi!

Don Albert Jo que’m creia enraonar amb un jove educat!

Fidel Mare: que no ho sentiu?

Madrona Verge del cel!

Fidel Que no’l sentiu?

Don Albert (amb ironia fina) Senyora, la felicito: en Fidel és més

digne fill de vostè que de donya Lluisa.

Fidel Miserable!

Madrona (a don Albert) I la seva mare què hi dirà?

Don Albert No hi pensi més en ella. Passin-ho bé. (Desapareix.)
Escena ultima
(Els mateixos, menys Don Albert)

Madrona (després d’un curt silenci) Quin home! (En Boira tanca la
porta d’una revolada.)

Fidel (acostant-s’hi) Mare: encara ho creieu que jo haig de deixar-

vos?

Madrona (abraçant-lo) No, Fidel!

Passarell (plorant d’alegria) Ho veus, Madrona?

Madrona (an en Fidel) Diga-m mare, sempre mare!

Fidel Sempre us ho diré.

Boira (amb esclat de joia) Aixís m’agradeu!

Fidel Us oferien diners a cambi d’un gran sacrifici.

Madrona Quina repugnancia!

Fidel Jo no vui que us sacrifiqueu.

Passarell (abraçant-lo, plorant) Fidel!

Fidel No consento que a les vostres velleses se profani aquesta
blancor, que jo corono am petons. (Els besa a tots dos en el cap.)

Passarell Fill meu!

Madrona (besant-lo) Fill del meu cor!

Boira (plorant i rient) Apa, aquí!

Fidel Si ja esteu cançats o no podeu treballar, reposeu.

Passarell No, no, Fidel!

Fidel Sí, reposeu. Jo sóc jove, i a mi’m pertoca afanyar-me pera

vosaltres.

Passarell (anant-se’n, sanglotant, a seure a l’esquerra, al costat de la

taula) Gracies, gracies.

Fidel M’heu donat vinticinc anys de vida. Treballaré, amb amor, pera
donar-vos-en el doble!

Passarell Quina alegria que tinc!

Fidel (a la Madrona, senyalant l’escudeller) Mireu, mireu: encara hi

ha’l meu clavell en fresc.

Madrona Me’l dones?

Fidel Sí. Am l’ànima i tot.

Madrona Doncs, me’l quedo pera mi.

Fidel (desprenent-se dels braços de la Madrona) Mare!

Boira (am molta fruició) Apa, apa, a riure tot-hom i a dinar

desseguida. (Treient les estovalles d’un calaix de la taula). Això no ha
sigut res. (Extenent enlaire les estovalles). Mireu: la bandera de la
pau i de la manduca. (Para la taula tot taratlejant, en veu baixa, “Les
flors de Maig” d’en Clavé. La Madrona muda l’aigua de la copa en
que hi ha’l clavell, i després rega les clavellines de la finestra.)

Passarell Fill, fill meu!

Fidel (abraçant an el Passarell) Pare! (El Passarell, abraçat an en

Fidel, esclata en plor. En Boira, tot atrafegat i alegroi, extén les
estovalles damunt de la taula, estirant tant aviat d’un cap com de
l’altre, seguint taratlejant “Les flors de Maig”.)

Madrona (de la finestra estant) Que ploreu?

Fidel És d’alegria, mare!

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph
1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner
of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party

REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,
you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity
that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project
Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of

Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
